Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

How is it that Christmas is three weeks away! 2016 only has four weeks left.

Sometimes it feels as though life passes by too quickly while at other times it feels like it can't pass fast enough.

An online study that I am part of had a great idea: everytime you see christmas lights, offer a prayer of thanksgiving. One thing I learned the most through that is to be thankful for the present moment.

Over time, I am slowly learning to love the moments of anticipation. Kind of like the quote about it being the adventure isn't the destination, but rather the journey to get there.

So in anticipation of the Christmas season that is upon us, I made dozens of Christmas cookies today! I went hiking with a friend and the last mile back we walked through the accumulating snow. It was gorgeous!

I have close to 80 Christmas cards going out in the mail this upcoming week!

Most of my Christmas shopping is done, I just have to make a few things. Then there are a few things that I have to purchase yet.

I am very excited for the holidays this year. I love the feeling of togetherness that the holidays bring! With friends, family, co-workers or whomever you find yourself gathering with this season, merry Christmas and Happy, Joyous Holidays to you and yours!
